Climbing Kilimanjaro in Tanzania is already an amazing experience. But since you're there anyway, why not consider adding a few extra days to your trip by visiting Tanzania's most intriguing National Parks?
For the ultimate Tanzania Safari package I have compiled safaris from an amazing day trip to six unforgettable days. They consist of stays in comfortable eco-lodges just outside the main parks and daily game drives through various parks.
The road can be very bumpy and it can be extremely hot and dusty. But it will be totally worth it when you look around in Tanzania's various national parks.
Spot lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and rhinos in their natural habitat
Enjoy the most beautiful sunsets over the endless plains of the Serengeti
Travel in comfortable vehicles with pop-up roof. Everyone gets a window seat!
Stay in comfortable lodges with authentic African atmosphere
Every safari includes the following - worry-free enjoyment of your adventure!
Rates are subject to change without notice should the Tanzanian government or TANAPA increase park fees, taxes, or entry requirements. They can implement this at any time.
